Lord Perry Patterns

I am an artist, a trained interior designer, and an avid knitter. I have also taught computer technology at our local public school for 19 years. Born and raised in Washington State, I have commuted to the Yakima Valley during the summer where I have held art shows at the local studios. I have also sold my watercolor paintings locally in California. I also have a small business where I restore fine furniture and antique woods.

I love period costume, especially Victorian and Belle Epoche. I have been a seamstress most of my life and have made wedding and formal apparel as well as accessories such as veils, etc. for many years. I began designing for Lord Perry Patterns fourteen years ago at the invitation of Geneva White. She was familiar with my design, inventiveness, and sewing skills. I have designed four Lord Perry accessory patterns and plan on doing more designs for them soon.

I have lived in Morgan Hill, California for over 30 years. Although I have retired from public education, I am still active with my art and decorating activities. I have one daughter who lives locally, and I am actively enjoying my grand-daughter.
